Hi gang! Are you well? I am well. I’ve been doing some early morning crochet/coffee drinking/Brothers & Sisters watching. It’s a good way to start the day, a bit like getting in some ‘day off’ before the work day starts, if that makes any sense! I wanted to let you know that my next round of eCourses has been

Some people know how to make really beautiful books and Daniella Germain is one of those kinds of people. You might remember that she wrote a book called My Abuela’s Mexican Feast a couple of years ago? Well this book is the follow-up. Her first book (a tribute to her grandmother) was super great, so I was excited to

Following on from last week’s Pilot Episode Gilmorealong, here’s a little breakdown of Episode 2! Tell me if you watch! Tag any related images on Instagram with #gilmorealong so we can see! The Lorelai’s First Day At Chilton After you watch: Things I noted/liked Lorelai and Rory are still so grumpy with each other. I like it better when

Do you know how great #52hellos is turning out to be? I’m not talking JUST about all the great letters I’m getting, but also about the letters I get to send. This week I sent something to my sister. A little package of good things and a long, messy letter. It was five pages long. As I was writing it,

So this is a little update on how I’m going with A Year Of Australian Writing (#ayearofaustralianwriting). I’m reading some quite varied books… Hard copy: I’ve just finished Joe Cinque’s Consolation by Helen Garner. (I’ve read pretty much all Helen’s books now, I think!) This book is so compelling and awful. I am really glad I read it. It’s hard

I can’t help it. Something in me is so addicted to Gilmore girls. I know it’s not perfect. I know there are flaws, but there’s also an innocence, a cheekiness, a cheerfulness which suits my temperament down to the ground. If you’ve been following my late-blooming obsession with this show, you won’t be surprised that I’m re-watching a 3rd time.

Aw GUYS! You are totally getting excited about #52hellos ! I am so glad! Imagine if nobody sent me a letter. I would have looked like such a goose. Probably I would have asked my friends to write to me, but luckily there was no need because YOU ARE WRITING TO ME! Gosh. It’s the new way to comment,

Woah. It’s here! You know, it took a long time for me to make my new book, Craft For The Soul, I was pretty tired after doing 4 books in a really short space of time, I switched publishers and I also thought people needed a rest from Stuff By Pip, so I made sure to stretch out the

Hello pals! It’s time for #52hellos! And this is the very first week of letters! So cool. (If you’re not sure what #52hellos is head here for details). This week I’m featuring two hellos. The first one (above) is from Dot. Dot wrote her letter from Canberra after living in Perth for a while. I won’t show you all

Amazing handmade Terry De Havilland vs Liberty wedge: here Hello! What have you been doing, peaches? I have been trying to not work (it’s very hard for me) and doing quiet things. It’s so hot here at the moment. I know it’s only been two days of heat, but I am waiting for the change. I want to be

main image stolen from Taylor Swift Man. She’s such a great example of adorable, dorky gratitude. YES she has a gazillion dollars, but she doesn’t have to do this stuff. It’s so nice to see people doing good stuff for other people (while they are also working REALLY HARD!) If I’m ever feeling a bit down I go look at
